A 3-day dietary manipulation affects muscle glycogen and results in modifications of carbohydrate and fat metabolism during exercise when hyperglycaemic.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe effect of hyperglycaemia on exercise with low and elevated muscle glycogen on glucose utilization (GUR), carbohydrate and fat oxidation, hormonal and metabolite responses, as well as rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were explored.
methodsFive healthy trained males were exercised for 90 min at 70% V̇O
resultsThe CHO-L and CHO-D conditions resulted in muscle glycogen concentrations of 377 and 159 mmol/g dw, respectively. Hyperglycaemia elevated plasma insulin concentrations with higher levels for CHO-L than for CHO-D (P < 0.01). Conversely, CHO-D elevated plasma adrenaline and noradrenaline higher than CHO-L (P < 0.05). Plasma fat metabolites (NEFA, β-hydroxybutyrate, and glycerol) were higher under CHO-D than CHO-L (P < 0.01). The resultant was that the rates of total carbohydrate and fat oxidation were elevated and depressed for loaded CHO-L vs CHO-D respectively (P < 0.01), although no difference was found for GUR (P > 0.05). The RPE over the exercise period was higher for CHO-D than CHO-L (P < 0.05).
conclusionHyperglycaemia during exercise, when muscle glycogen is reduced, attenuates insulin but promotes catecholamines and fat metabolites. The effect is a subsequent elevation of fat oxidation, a reduction in CHO oxidation without a concomitant increase in GUR, and an increase in RPE.
